Wheel Container due in this week!!

We've been expecting this shipment for a while now as have many of our customers. We're making room in the warehouse now as the container is bringing in almost 800 wheels. Here's a breakdown of exactly which wheel styles and sizes we are expecting.

Keith drove up from the Portland area to pick up his $1000 set of RS4 wheels (no longer available) and tires from us. Since Keith's GTI is an '08 model, we had to remove the TPM sensors from his stock set-up to transfer to the new wheels.

Not quite... And I knew someone would call me out on that quick!
The gallery we're setting up to host all our images will eventually do an automated watermark. The one on the corner is currently an automated one (and will likely be removed) while the "ghost" watermark was one I was manually adding to images all along - that one I will set-up as an automated one.

Many of the wheels we had on backorder like the B7 HRS4-252 and G5s finally arrived on this shipment.

We also received our first order of the all new Achtuning edition HS5-209-GA:M wheel. Before we get a chance to add these to our website, I snapped some shots of the wheel sitting on our showroom floor.

Very pleasantly surprised with how the HS5-209-GA:M wheels turned out!

I had a chance to take Bill's (owner of Achtuning) allroad out for a proper photoshoot since the car arrived clean and we hadn't done a shoot with the 20" Q7 wheels on it.

The Hartmann QS-10 is a replica of one of the Audi Q7 wheels and is available in bolt patterns to fit both Audis and Porsches. Pictured below is the 20x9, 5x112 version with a 40mm offset mated with 25mm front and rear H&R spacers. Tire size is 275/30-20 but Bill intends to go down to a 255/30 since it rubs slightly on sharp turns. On to the pictures...

We also mounted a set of the Hartmann HR8-GS:M wheels onto Jose's Mk5 GLI the same day. The Hartmann HR8-GS:M wheels are 19x8.5" with a 48mm offset and wrapped with Bridgestone Potenza RE750 tires in a 235/35-19. Jose has plans to lower the car on H&R Race springs and upgrade the ECU with APR Performance Software.

Then Graydon drove down from Vancouver, B.C. to have a set of Hartmann HRS4-252-SS "RS4" style wheels for his B6 A4 1.8T. These are the 19x8.5" version with a 38mm offset, a perfect offset for the B5 through B7 Audi A4s - also wrapped with Bridgestone tires.

Thanks Trav!
As for the B6 A4, we had intended to install H&R coil-overs for the customer but he had some other suspension issues that unfortunately needed to get taken care of first. Due to our schedule, we were not able to take on that extra task yesterday and we didn't want the customer stranded over night in Seattle. He does intend to bring the car down quite a bit and mentions we might see it at Great Canadian.

It wasn’t very long after we completed Bob’s B5 RS4 conversion project that the car was driven down Hwy 101 from Washington to California where it would reside for almost a year. Just last week Bob brought the car back up to Washington (coming back up the same way he went down) to give us an opportunity to show it off at the WaterWÃ«rks event here in the Seattle area.

Bob’s B5 S4 received the full RS4 conversion treatment when it was here at Achtuning. The APR Stage III kit for the B5 S4 is an unbeatable combination of factory RS4 components and APR programming bumping stock horsepower to an APR claimed 447hp and 467ft-lbs of torque! Further, this is a daily driven car that Bob reports drives perfectly each day without a single issue.
